‘Saints Row IV: Enter the Dominatrix’ DLC Out Today

October 23, 2013

Developer Volition today finally released its long-awaited Enter the Dominatrix DLC for Saints Row IV. The add-on content is now available on consoles and PC for $7.

The story behind Enter the Dominatrix might be somewhat embarrassing for Volition. The DLC was originally being developed over one year ago as the final piece of content for Saints Row the Third. The add-on was then abruptly cancelled and progress on the content was rolled into the development of Saints Row IV. In hindsight the shadow of THQ’s failure and subsequent auction must have lingering over Volition as a whole, though the studio has arguably fared better than many other studios caught up in the bankruptcy.

For the new Enter the Dominatrix, Volition has returned to the ideas that gave birth to Saints Row IV. Players will be able to experience an “alternate take” on the storyline of Saints Row IV. Though familiar characters return, the game also features a “mad” AI program named the Dominatrix, who controls an “army of gimps and sex-workers.” Volition has also included behind-the-scenes commentary for the content.

In addition to Enter the Dominatrix, one other DLC campaign add-on will be released for Saints Row IV this year. Titled How the Saints Saved Christmas, the content will be released before the end of the year (presumably around the holidays).
